   Just as an aside, does anyone else click on ads for great services like mibbit just to give some revenue to the site?

   So they are invisible huge spiders? No wonder I have never seen them.

   I know both sides. I have a friend who is one of the greatest proponents of alternative medicine treatments of autism. Both my children have been vaccinated. http://www.babble.com.au/2009/02/24/bad-science-how-the-auti... I shouldn't have

   Seriously, while I feel for you, get the facts. There is no evidence linking autism to vaccines. While dosing frequency has increased, dosing volume has decreased. Not only that, even if you are right, a lot more kids would die from the vac

   For this we thought about recording user input, then replaying it on the new build as a pre-deploy step and looking for errors in logs etc. Obviously this would only work without major ui/schema changes. Have you tried anything like this?

    It's an amazing piece of software. Better than the commercial alternatives I have tried.

    Interestingly, the only troll-less social places on the internet are those who are started by, and frequented by a "guru" who everyone respects. I visit a handful of such places for different subject areas and they are completely differen

    Summary: "The Harvard data says very, very few people tweet and the Nielsen data says very, very few people listen consistently" Twitter appeals to people who really, really care about news in real time. Like techies, bloggers and journalis

    While I usually dislike rants, I played with google squared and agree. It's pretty much useless for everything I tried. Does anyone have any searches it's good for? I'd love to be proven wrong about it's utility.

    Well its pretty obvious why he thinks that. Look at techcrunch.com and you'll see a big banner costing what, 100k/month(?) filled with microsoft and twitter. However, I don't see it as a conflict of interest. He bases MS and twitter as much

    I can't upmod this comment enough. Regardless of whether they got some inspiration from twitvid.io they both copied the idea from somewhere else. It's not like twitvid isn't super-obvious as a name considering twitpics success. Also, how ma

    We do something similar for our apps on ec2. We use userdata to configure our ami, which then connects to our puppetmaster with the node details and everything happens like magic (ssl certs, web adresses, databases, web apps, security, user

    It's not about IQ. It's about selling IQ. I know a guy pulling 500k who is at best a 100 on the IQ scale, but he creates instant rapport with a twinkle of his eye.

    There are two ways you can interpret this: - rules that competitors limit themselves to despite the fact that they aren't explicitly laid out - don't train to defend against the suboptimal strategy While the correct answer may be the firs

    Agreed, it's just part of the cycle. I just feel for those startups who are now superseded, that's all. I know how hard they are working, and there must be a lot of frantic board meetings happening right now.

    If it works as it could, I'd hate to think how many startups just because completely obsolete. Our wiki, internal laconica, document sharing and collaboration software will probably all die if this works.

    As someone who has coached basketball I call B.S. You don't put on a press because if you are playing against a team that knows how to beat it you will get destroyed because they will run you into the ground. It's a suboptimal strategy beca

    Ask them what budget they have to work with, and provide two options - one within their budget and one that goes over. Understanding their budget and who pays is important. Provide a value proposition.

    I think it would be a worthwhile project to get some of the top emacs/vim users doing a set task (e.g. spit out a rails app, or build a small java app) and compare them to the gold standard ide in a guided screencast setting. It would be en

    I think it's pretty funny as well, but my 5yo won't be using youtube for a while until I'm sure it's mostly clear!
